ATLANTA — A mysterious and scattered outbreak of an E. coli bacterium is linked to 14 illnesses, including a child’s death, health officials say.
No form of contaminated food or other cause has been identified in the illnesses, which occurred in April and May, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Three people were hospitalized. One — a child in the New Orleans area — died last week.
The reported illnesses were spread across six states. Georgia had five cases, Louisiana four, Alabama two, and Tennessee, Florida and California each had one.

ATLANTA (CNN) –
Federal health officials say 14 people in six states have been sickened by the same strain of E. coli over the past couple of months.
According to CDC spokeswoman Lola Russell, 14 cases of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O145 infection with the same DNA fingerprint were identified in six states. “Their illness onsets range from April 15 to May 12, 2012,” she said. “Three ill persons have been hospitalized. One death has been reported in Louisiana.”
Cases have been reported in Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida, according to local health departments and media reports. The CDC would not reveal which other two states were reporting cases.
Louisiana health officials would confirm only that one child died and two adults were sickened in the New Orleans area. CNN affiliate WWL reported that the child was 21-month-old Maelan Elizabeth Graffagnini, who fought the infection for weeks at a local hospital.
Georgia is reporting five cases, the most in one state.
